Vice President Vance to Strengthen U.S. Ties in Azerbaijan and Armenia After Peace Agreement
DEFENSE
U.S. Vice President JD Vance will visit Azerbaijan and Armenia next month to enhance diplomatic relations following a U.S.-brokered peace agreement that resolved decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
His trip aims to promote economic cooperation, including a Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation deal with Armenia and defense equipment sales to Azerbaijan, while reinforcing U.S. influence in the region. Both nations have committed to international law and non-aggression, with Armenia planning to integrate its energy systems with Azerbaijan as part of a U.S.-backed initiative.
